to the United States. Said ON
gentleman high in suthority to-day
"The United States will never si
by and see the guns of foreign
nation pointed at the Golden Gatt
from Hawaii or at the mouth of the
Mississippi rive from Cuba, but
there is no reason why we should
interfere with the affairs of these
islands until called upon by one OF
the other. IL it becomes necessary
to protect American interests in the
Hawaiian islands the United States
will act, but otherwise this Govern
ment will certainly take no part in
present troubles"
"Had the department any warn
ing of the revolution before il broke
out"
"None whatever, except that we
knew that the Hawaiian Government
was in serious financial straits and
that great dissatisfaction existed
among the people,"

partment this morning from General

Colorado had requested General
Crook to assist the civil authorities
in serving process upon the bucks
who had been indicted by the Grand
Jury. Terry asked for instructions

Crook in the matter. A telegram

ported by Officer Fitzpatrick. lie

st. Louis, August ia dia-
bolical attempt was made tonight
to wreck an outgoing passenger train
an the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad,
on the outskirts of the city, by driv-
ing two coupling pins in the frog.
An officer, walking through the yard
just before the train was due, dis
covered and removed the obstruction.
The track at this point is on high
embankment and much loss of life
would have followed q wreck.
Acknowledgement Drum is rapidly
gaining unenviable notoriety. He
has scarcely come out of the rebel
flag returning affair when he is plac-
ed in the position of preventing
ex-Union soldiers from obtaining
pensions. The Administration should
check the Democratic tendeQcies of
this useless adjunct of the Govern
ment.
New York, Aug. 1G-The Scotch
yacht Thistle, about which much
anxiety has been expressed, arrived
at the bar at 4 O'Clock this morning.
Captain Barr reports q pleasant
passage, except three days of rough
weather and three without a puff of
wind. The rest of the time they
had a light breeze. 1t will take
about three weeks to clean her up,
set her topmast and bend on her
racing sails. She came over under
small mainsail, topsail, staysail
and jib. For two days Of the trip
she shook out everything. The trip
took twenty-one days,
The arrival OF the Thistle is the
most talked-of event of to-day.
The papers contain interviews with
Captain Barr, which comparatively
are uninteresting. The Captain
smiled broadly and talked with
equal broadaess when congratulated
on his r1n and the showing made by
the boat and crew. The evening s
"Sun" contains long account of
how the cup was won by America
in 1851. Barr says; eve did not
have days run in the whole trip
thai we can be satisfied with to show
what VIC could do. The winds never
held good all day, and when we got
some hours of good sailing in one
part of the day it was sure to be
spoild by high or battling breezes
that we had to come in on the same
uay Iuu'
st. Petersburg, Aug, lEth-The
"Journal de St. Petersburg" says /:
The Russian Embassy at CONSTANT
nople has handed to the Porte a pro-
test against Prince Ferdinand 8
occupancy of the Bulgarian throne.
The Journal" however, makes
this pertinent inquiry: "Can it be
supposed that Russia will consider
herself alone bound to become the
defender of what remains of the
Berlin Treaty."
